Edmonton is 2 mil. under the cap but once Klefbom comes off the IR they will be over the cap. So they are gonna have to get creative. Either we take a bad contract or we retain player salary. So that is gonna be an added consideration to any deal we do.

As if Chiarelli is conservative with assets? Lucic’s contract is also horrific. That in itself warrants assets from Edmonton for taking it on. Look at some of the deals around the league throwing away bad contracts. Most get B prospects at least.

I can't tell if I'm suffering from Rangers bias even though I am not even "gaga" over Kreider like many Rangers fans are, or if you are incredibly underrating his value.

The value of that 1st rounder is entirely predicated on whether or not Chiarelli thinks the Oilers are a wildcard team or not.

If he does, that 1st is way less valuable to him than it is to us.

If he doesn't, well....

Also - I think Lottery Protection is going to be a much less popular option given the whole Colorado/Ottawa situation. I'd honestly rather poison pill the pick (i.e. if top 5 --> Oilers get a compensatory 2nd or 3rd from us)

Blueshirts Brotherhood. We do what we must because we can - for the good of all Rangerkind

Sure. If the Oilers unexpectedly nosedive into the top 5 of the 1st round yeah. Most likely they are a playoff team if they trade for guys like Kreider, which means it is probably more likely to be 18-22. Even if they miss the playoffs it will probably be middle of the pack. 13-16. Not digging that for Kreider.
